Damian Lillard

On his way to more than 20,000 career points, there isn’t a defender nor a defensive scheme that Damian Lillard hasn’t rendered irrelevant at some point or another. A master of pick-and-roll angles, Lillard uses a swift between-the-leg to free himself of one defender, before leaving another in the dust with a breathtaking behind-the-back, up-and-under combination for an uncontested finish at the rim. In the middle of one of his annual offensive scoring tears, Lillard was in All-Star form on December 17, 2023, lighting the Houston Rockets up for 39 points, five rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and five 3-pointers.
